Carbon canister solenoid valve damage will significantly increase fuel consumption, and secondly, engine power will decrease. Symptoms of a faulty solenoid valve: If the solenoid valve of the car's activated carbon canister is damaged, it will prevent the activated carbon canister from opening and closing, directly leading to increased fuel consumption. You may occasionally hear abnormal noises under non-idle conditions, and when pressing the accelerator to accelerate, the vehicle's idle speed may fluctuate, accompanied by weak acceleration. These are all symptoms of a damaged carbon canister solenoid valve. The function of the car's carbon canister: The carbon canister in a car utilizes the adsorption properties of activated carbon to collect fuel vapors and prevent waste. The carbon canister solenoid valve opens when the car starts, releasing the adsorbed fuel vapors into the intake manifold to enter the engine for combustion.

What are the symptoms of water entering the air filter?

Symptoms of water entering the air filter: The engine may experience poor acceleration, sluggishness, and insufficient fuel supply. If the situation is severe enough that water enters the cylinders, the engine may exhibit piston knocking during operation, thereby accelerating engine wear. If water is found in the air filter, do not start the engine. Promptly wipe off any rainwater on the engine and check the generator belt for cracks to avoid shortening the vehicle's lifespan. Steps to replace the air filter: 1. Loosen the filter lock and remove the fixing nut; 2. After removing the cover, the air filter element will be visible. If dirt is found inside or outside the filter housing, wipe it clean with a cloth first; 3. Then, you can replace the new filter element, but be careful not to touch the paper part of the filter with your hands, especially avoiding contamination by oil.

What is the normal tire pressure for the front wheels of a car?

The normal tire pressure for the front wheels of a car is 2.3 bar. There are two methods for tire pressure monitoring: direct tire pressure monitoring and indirect tire pressure monitoring. Direct tire pressure monitoring uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure, and then transmits the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module via a wireless transmitter, displaying the tire pressure data for each tire. The working principle of indirect tire pressure monitoring is: when the pressure of a tire decreases, the weight of the vehicle will cause the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to the other wheels. Indirect tire pressure warning systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tire to monitor the pressure.
